After paying, you take your receipt and choose a place to sit. There are plenty of tables to choose from and the restaurant is spacious! We didn't wait long for our food and picked it up at another counter. Our friends love the Italian Beef Sandwich. Highly recommend it, along with some fries and onion rings. My husband got a hamburger with an extra patty and customized filling, e.g. lettuce and tomatoes, hold the pickles and cheese. I was happy to see a chopped salad on the menu- good sized, lots of good stuff with 2 little containers of dressing. Quite tasty. If you're looking for something between fast food and sit down, Portillo's is a good option.

I had the House Bleu Salad, and the blue cheese added a nice depth of flavour. We also tried the grilled cheese with tomato soup, as well as the patty melt with fries -- both were okay, but nothing particularly stood out. Overall, a casual neighbourhood spot that's perfectly fine if you're in the area, but probably not a destination I'd go out of my way for. Saluti.

It's worth going the distance to get their eats.

The place is enormous, or at least it feels that way. The ceiling stretches overhead, the floor goes on forever, and there's no hostess stand in sight. No one is waiting to greet you. Instead, you're left to figure out the system yourself. Fortunately, the ceiling signs seem to know where you're going. Everything about the place says Chicago hot dog emporium. It isn't fancy, and it certainly isn't trying to be. No linen napkins, no mysterious foam, no server appearing with a dramatic explanation of the appetizer. Just laminated menus, stainless steel, bright signs, yellow mustard, and the reassuring promise of a hot dog piled high with enough toppings to require a little structural engineering. At the register, the cashier looks up with the blank, mildly haunted expression of someone who has been stationed there to process transactions, not thoughts. You ask a question. They stare. Not rudely. Not helpfully. Just a long, silent look that suggests your question has been received but will not be processed at this time. Your better off just ordering your food and hoping for the best. They do serve a crispy fried chicken sandwich with a sauce so aggressively spicy it feels less like a condiment and more like a personal attack. The first bite is delicious. The second begins the paralysis of your taste buds. By the third, you're realizing that requesting the sauce on the side was a good move. In hindsight, I probably should have done my homework and ordered the hot dog--the thing this place is actually famous for. Instead, I saw "spicy chicken sandwich" and made the classic mistake of assuming I knew better than a restaurant built around one very specific food.

This very cute place is walk-up only with a dozen or so outside tables. They have a number of sandwiches and sausages to choose from but to be honest I really did not study the menu. I was here for a Chicago dog. I ordered my dog at one window and at the next they build the order by quizzing you on what you all want on it... seemed unnecessary when you order a Chicago dog. Anyway the hot dog was very good and was relatively inexpensive (given the prices these days). The patio was very pleasant especially on this mild August day. I will stop again.
